A sort of thrall seemed to seize us all, As we hummed the magic rhyme, When into the street the song complete. Was wafted in perfect time. The whole Bluff City took up the ditty, Till the tuneful sound overwhelms, And fairies catching the line just then. Brought them safe into other realms “Oh! the A. H. S. is a wonderful place, For the growth of a boy or girl, Enough is said that it wakes the dead. And sets them all in a whirl.” “The Faculty, too, is not a hoodoo, But the best as we all can see, With their M. B. A. and Ph. B., And an A. M., Pd. D.’’ “Through the crumbling walls of history’s halls, Oh! the sights that it brings to view, While through science deep with a mighty sweep, It deals with the old and new.” Now any old thing that the old gods bring, In centuries past or to come, 'Tis our humble guess that the A. H. S, Can tell just how ’tis done. 17
